1. Cure related inducing diseases. Before treating vulvar leukoplakia, interference from other diseases should be ruled out. Such as diabetes, pinworm infestation, candidal vaginitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, cervicitis, etc., to eliminate the possibility of inflammatory irritation and bacterial infection.

2. Combine internal and external use. Traditional treatments include topical ointments, physical therapy, surgical resection, etc. However, the use of medication alone can only suppress itching, alleviate surface symptoms, etc. It is only effective in the short term and is prone to relapse and difficult to treat. For hyperplastic leukoplakia, external medications such as betamethasone cream, triamcinolone acetonide cream, and hydrocortisone ointment can be used; for local hardened, atrophic, dry, and thinning skin lesions, testosterone propionate cod liver oil ointment, progesterone ointment, or heparin sodium ointment can be applied 3 to 4 times a day to help soften the skin, but long-term use of medications may cause side effects.

3. Persist for a long time and follow up regularly. Vulvar leukoplakia is a stubborn disease that requires persistent treatment. Patients need to have a certain degree of patience and insist on regular follow-up visits, with the best follow-up interval being every 3 to 6 months. Pay attention to your condition at all times to prevent it from getting worse.

Experts say that to prevent vulvar leukoplakia, we should start from our daily life.
